Preliminary investigations into the Delhi high court bomb blast have indicated that a nitrate-based explosive was used.
The bomb that exploded outside the Delhi high Court on Wednesday was laced with the highly-impactive pentaerythritol trinitrate, popularly known as PETN. The deadly chemical is a favourite terror toy of Pakistan based terror groups like the Lashkar-e-Tayiba and Al Qaeda, reports Vicky Nanjappa.
A white powder was found wrapped in a paper close to the seat of the Leader of the Opposition Ram Govind Choudhry.
